Cursor delay problem--anyone else get this?

I had that problem with a Geforce 5200 FX (77.x detonators). The problem gone when installed a Radeon 9800 Pro.

Certainly a problem, didn't expect such a low performance with the nVidia.

So we have more than one person with similar results, it seems to deal with system performance.

I'm not sure, but what is the FX55 exactly, is it AGP 8x, PCI:Expres 16x? What is its RAM?

Could be the key factor.

And if you add 512MB of RAM (which would be smart in general), it may or may not help as well, but would definatly be better than having just 512MB of RAM.

I belive that 2GB of RAM is the good standard now for gaming.

Ok, I tried disabling the mouse acceleration, but that didn't do it. I'm moving on to the other stuff now. Will keep you updated in case some of you are having the same problem as me.

The card is an 8x AGP, 256 MB.

Is my card just too crappy? I had a Geforce 4600 TI that ran the game just as good, though it did keep crashing.

You could try editing your preferences.txt

from this:

CAMPAIGN_MAP_MAX_SCROLL_SPEED_MIN_ZOOM:30
CAMPAIGN_MAP_MAX_SCROLL_SPEED_MAX_ZOOM:30

to this:

CAMPAIGN_MAP_MAX_SCROLL_SPEED_MIN_ZOOM:60
CAMPAIGN_MAP_MAX_SCROLL_SPEED_MAX_ZOOM:60

I find tis works well for me.

Just backup the .txt first before you make any changes

I think I'll try that Attalus, since nothing else seems to work. How would I get to the preferences text?

Thanks!

preferences.txt is a text file in the RTW installation directory, usually C:\Program files\Activision\Rome Total War

Somebody correct me if I've got the last bit wrong. Just make a copy of that text file before you start making changes; that way, if anything gets mucked up because of changes to the preferences.txt file, you can restore the older unedited on.

Please do continue, I'm having the same problem with a sluggish cursor.
